Detailed Solution

Ostwald's law of dilution relates with the dissociation constant of a weak electrolyte to the degree of dissociation and the concentration of the weak electrolyte.

Consider the following reaction,

                                 CH3COOHCH3COO-+H+

                                    Ka=[CH3COO-][H+][CH3COOH]

                                   Ka=αC.αC(1-α)C

                                   Ka=α2(1-α)V, Where C=1V

Hence, the correct answer is option (A)Ka=α2(1-α)V.
